Duplicate messages and extra network traffic with duplex connections

                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1661
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Broker, Connector
    Affects Versions: 5.1.0
            Reporter: Mike Forrest

(see attached diagram)

I have two brokers A and B, where A establishes a connection to B with the 
options: 
duplex="true" networkTTL="3" dynamicOnly="true" 

I have two clients connecting to broker A, and one to B.  One of the clients on 
A is subscribing to a queue, the other is publishing to it.  The client on B is 
not using that queue at all.  When the publishing client sends a message, the 
subscriber receives it as expected.  But if I watch the network with a sniffer, 
I can see the message being sent to broker B and back again. 

I also set up a topic that all of the clients subscribe to.  If a client on A 
sends a message to the topic, the client on B receives it normally, but the two 
clients on A receive the message twice.  I can see with the sniffer that the 
message is being sent from A to B and back. 

If I change the connection so that it's not duplex (i.e. I set up matching 
simplex connections on both brokers) all of this unexpected behavior goes away. 
 In the first example, the messages are no longer forwarded to B since there 
are no subscribers on that broker.  In the second example, the message is 
received once by every subscriber. 

I have tested on various 5.1 snapshots up through 4/8/08.
